  • 02/28/2012 - Damn Yankees
    Faust, fly balls, and devilishly good fun all meet at the home plate of this 8 Tony Award winning Broadway musical, 'Damn Yankees'. This is the story of a 1950's middle-aged baseball fanatic who trades his soul to the Devil for a chance to lead his favorite team in the pennant race against the New York Yankees, only to realize the true worth of the life (and wife) he's left behind. Filled with hit songs like 'Whatever Lola Wants' and 'You Gotta Have Heart', this show is a musical comedy home run! Two Shows at the Performing Arts Center of Wenatchee: 4pm and 8pm on Tuesday, February 28. Catch the national tour grand-slam smash before it goes to Seattle!
  • 03/03/2012 - Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra: Piano Pieces

    The Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra will present their third concert of the season on Saturday, March 3, 2012, 7pm, at the Performing Arts Center of Wenatchee (PAC). The concert, titled “Piano Pieces”, will feature orchestral works originally composed for piano. On the program is Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite with melodies inspired by nursery rhymes, and Ravel’s famous arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Popular Northwest oboist Brent Hages will be featured in a concerto by Bach. Also on the program is a premier of Earth, from “The Elements”, composed by symphony violist Aaron Davis for his master’s degree thesis.

    Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra Music Director and Conductor Dr. Nikolas Caoile will present a Concert Prelude (pre-concert lecture) beginning at 6pm. The Prelude is complimentary to all ticket holders.

    Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1947, is in its 65th season and second season under the artistic leadership of Dr. Nikolas Caoile, who received rave reviews during his inaugural season with the symphony.

  • 02/25/2012 - Airport Way
    Airport Way is a self-acclaimed Island Rock band from Seattle, Washington. Using combinations of Classic Rock, Reggae, and Indie-Pop influence, Airport Way creates a live performance that reminds listeners of The Police and Sublime, and that artist contemporaries recognize as conceptually adventurous. Overall, the music delivers every listener the opportunity to tap, sway, and dance.
    -
    Identified as a passionate approach to song writing, Airport Way captures the sound of Death Cab, Modest Mouse, Lynyrd Skynrd, the Black Keys, and Led Zeppelin to achieve an expandable, full bodied edge. All original compositions are then crowned with traditional bass lines and rhythm accents from the sound of DJ Shadow, King Tubby, Tribe Called Quest, Primus, and Bob Marley to engage a call and response between the band and the audience. That polyamorous relationship of musical influence gives Airport Way's Island Rock its justifiable roots.
    -
    With their combined 25 years of experience in live performance, Airport Way hardly handles themselves as the 17 month old project that they are. Building steadfast relationships outside the local industry and maintaining their loyal grass roots effort make Airport Way an emerging band worth the shared experience. Listeners accept Airport Way as a member of their local music scene without knowing that band mates Chris Burger, Amos Morgan, and John Paul perform from Seattle. This uniquely creative formula provides the same outcome whether heard at a house party, jazz lounge, local bar, farmer's market, or festival stage. The live Airport Way experience is meant to be familiar, danceable, and social fun.
